Moryana is forced to hide the secret of her true ancestry and live as an orphan destined for conscription, until a two-hundred-and-fifty-year old bargain shatters everything she thought she knew.

Desiring a peaceful life, free from the shackles of responsibility and imminent conscription, Moryana steals what she can from the rich and powerful, hoping to buy herself out of this fate. When an annual visit from her father results in the revelation that she was sired to fulfil a bargain between mortals and Fae, Moryana must choose to fight, or die. 

Without the bargain, mortals stand to lose all that they have accomplished and without a mortal child, the Fae will destroy everything that humans hold dear.

As an Offering of the bargain, Moryana competes in trials inside an arena of death for the amusement of the Fae, who are ruled by brothers as fickle and cruel as they are stunning and powerful. Moryana fights to survive, and the spilling of her blood reveals a truth that changes everything. 

Trying to understand who she is, and what purpose she serves, Moryana works alongside Casimir, one of the ruling brothers, and their growing feelings for each other. 

If Moryana wants to ensure the mortals stand a chance of surviving the cruelty of Casimir's brother, who plans to control the conscripted soldiers that he holds hostage and force them to attack their kin, she must act quickly.

Will her heart be strong enough to withstand the cost of what must be done?

A Pirate's Tale [COMPLETED] by joymoment

Wattys shortlist 2021 "I'm already loving this story" - _singforjoy_ "You are going to get me what I want," Isla said, calmly. "Or I will kill you." The words hung in the air between them. Raif looked unconcerned. "Is that so?" he said. Born to the captain of a pirate ship, Isla has spent her whole life at sea. Raised among sailors, her father has trained her to fight, command a crew, and, most importantly, the secrets of the ocean currents. When her father is killed in a storm, she is forced to step into his role as captain. Not only does she have to provide for the men on her ship, but she also inherits her father's outstanding debt to Lord Sutherland: the task of stealing the rare Serpent's Eye emerald. After months of failure to locate the emerald, Isla is forced to take extreme measures: she kidnaps Duke Raif Sayers, who knows of the emerald's location. But Raif proves to be more strong willed and stubborn than Isla expected. Matters become even more complicated when Raif's father offers a large reward for his son's rescue and suddenly every cutthroat is looking for Raif and the pirate who kidnapped him. As Isla and her crew are pushed to their limits and race against their deadline, Isla has to face that the one decision she thought would save her crew could be the very thing that destroys them.

CRIMSON by meraki____

❝"Long live the queen." I whispered, as the life drained from my father's face and he took his very last breath. I listened to the whispers and murmurs around me. Of course they would suspect the cook. After all, I poisoned the entire meal and made sure he would take the first bite. Of course no one would suspect poor princess Veronica Crimson. Of course no one would suspect his daughter. Of course no one would expect the poor, sensitive damsel in distress. Underestimating me will be this kingdom's downfall. They say stories are always told from the victor's point of view. Novels, ballads, romance and all. Well, this is my story. And it's gonna be one hell of a comedy.❞ (NOT EDITED YET)

He opens portals after portals, fails, tries again until one night, when the gods ruling the empty skies finally decided to take pity on him, he manages to open the portal, not even knowing how he did so. He meets the girl who had his heart for the longest time he could remember, but only to realise that her memories were erased, and getting back his power is going to be much harder than he thought. The flames of Ember shall return to him, he will make sure of that, but, at what cost?

A Kiss Before Dusk by AvynnC

In a kingdom where sunlight ruled and secrets festered beneath silk and stone, a princess lived behind walls built to protect her from the world-and from herself. Her days were scripted, her smiles practiced, her future sealed in ink and royal blood. But beyond the garden wall, past curfews and caution, something ancient stirred. A presence forgotten by time but remembered by shadows. He was a creature of night-cursed, hunted, and hollowed by centuries of silence. A vampire whose name was feared in legend and buried by decree. When their paths crossed beneath a blood-moon sky, fate did not ask permission. It only demanded a price. This is the story of Seraphina, the girl born to wear a crown, and Lucien, the monster taught to hate it. And how love, when truly forbidden, becomes the most dangerous kind of magic.

10-Feet Sea God And His 5-Feet Human Bride by Srainrain

For over a thousand years, the Sea God has ruled the endless oceans, his power feared by mortals and worshipped by kings. His storms shape empires, his tides decide the fate of nations. Yet beneath his immortal strength lies a single, unfulfilled desire-an heir. He has crowned countless Sea Queens, each one chosen for her beauty, her magic, her divine blood. And each one has failed him. The sea remains silent, barren, and his throne grows colder with every passing century. Until one night, against every law of nature and every curse of the gods, a fragile human girl carries his child. She is everything he despises-mortal, weak, fleeting. He has drowned cities for less than a whisper of human defiance. And yet, inside her grows the one thing he has longed for more than power, more than eternity itself. Now, torn between hatred and desire, vengeance and hope, the Sea God must choose: Will he destroy the girl who embodies everything he loathes... Or protect the fragile spark of life that could finally break his eternal loneliness? A tale of forbidden love, divine wrath, and the one bond strong enough to shake the heavens-the bond between father and child.

Of Love Tales and Rabbit Tails by SilviaKrpatova

After six years in a progressive French boarding school, eighteen-year-old Lady Alice returns to her family's estate in Surrey, dreading the fate that awaits her-- debutante balls, an arranged marriage, and a life she does not want. She would have preferred to stay in France, teaching and writing love tales rather than living one dictated by others. Once cast aside by her own father and a stepmother, Alice finds their sudden desire for reconciliation hollow. Only her childhood best friend, Michael, Marquess Lovelace, seems like a true comfort. But as she settles back into her former home, something strange begins to happen. A black rabbit, eerily familiar, appears in the shadows-- just like the one that belonged to Edmond, her long-forgotten imaginary friend. And then she meets Count D'Arcy, the enigmatic and elusive neighbour whose presence unsettles her. His eyes, his voice, his very being remind her of Edmond. Could it be him? Or is her mind playing tricks on her? As the social season unfolds, Alice finds herself tangled in a web of mystery, romance, and the supernatural. The past and present blur, forcing her to question what is real, what is illusion, and whether love can exist beyond the bounds of reason. In the haunting halls of her childhood home and under the watchful gaze of Count D'Arcy, Alice must uncover the truth before she loses herself to the unknown. ~~~ My entry for the ONC 2025 based on the prompt 105: Your childhood imaginary friend, who disappeared years ago, suddenly returns - only this time, they're real.
